Avineon Completes Geospatial Data Enhancement Project for the San Antonio Water System
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Avineon, Inc. (www.avineon.com),
a successful provider of IT, geospatial, engineering and program management
services, announced today that it has completed a geographic information
system (GIS) services project for the San Antonio Water System (SAWS), a
public utility serving approximately 1.2 million people inSan Antonio and the
surrounding urbanized areas. Avineon was selected to provide geospatial
consulting and data cleanup of the water infrastructure topology for the
city's legacy data migrated from MicroStation DGN files to ArcSDE 9.2 as part
of SAWS' ongoing commitment to maintaining quality GIS data.
Avineon evaluated the existing SAWS GIS architecture and provided
recommendations for project execution, from preparation of data sources to
data enhancement plan design and quality assurance and quality control
processes. Once approved, Avineon implemented the design plan for each of the
utility's twelve pressure zones, updating the infrastructure and facilities.
The design plan resulted in a significantly improved dataset and reduced SAWS
clean up efforts to less than five percent of the original topology issues and
less than ten percent of the original connectivity issues. SAWS made the
improved geospatial data available to other departments with critical time
requirements to ultimately reduce costs.
Gary Wilkison, senior vice president, Commercial Systems division,
Avineon, stated, "Avineon has an extensive background in water and wastewater
GIS data conversion, migration and enhancement, enabling the project team to
design and implement a plan that successfully addressed SAWS' needs while
addressing an aggressive timeline for completion."
Avineon's work was performed at the company's Clearwater, Florida office,
with all deliverables completed in accordance with SAWS topology
specifications and project requirements. The data with enhanced topology was
delivered in a disconnected edit version of the SAWS ArcSDE 9.2 Geodatabase.
